3:17Geneva
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he
will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will
rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
I think his joy is beyond awesome! He is happy
beyond our comprehension.

n the mores of classicists.
That led him to give statistics about the decline of Greek in HS and
University teaching. The University of Aberdeen abolished the classics
departments under Margaret Thatcher. The University of Saskatchewam
[spelling?] is doing it at the present time.
Then he asked, "How can we stem the decline? And how prepare the next
generation of translators?" Where is textual criticism being taught?
And who knows any languages other than Greek needed for TC?
Years ago, when the RSV was done, the director of the translation team
had learned Latin, Greek, and Hebrew in HS! Translation of the NT
demands scholars who know the spread of the Greek language from Homer
on! [That is Metzger talking, not Ed Krentz--though I share his
opinion!] We need enthusiasm for learning the language, but where can
such translators be prepared?
In the discussion I noted that we needed to identify classicists who
are also committed Christians. I mentioned Herbert Howe, Episcopalian
who teaches [or taught] at the University of Wisconsin, Roger Bagnall,
Lutheran at Columbia University and premier papyrologist, Carl Conrad,
etc. Classicists are recovering the reading of the NT in Greek as part
of the early Roman Empire's history and culture.
Carl Conrad has cited the Italian proverb on this list, "Traditore
tradutore," Translators are traitors. That is complicated a great deal
when the translators do not know the original language well--and are
also not sensitive to the target language. I learn that over again each
week as I read with seminary students next Sunday's NT lessons from the
three year lectionary cycle in Greek and translate.
I will be interested in reactions from the list members to Metzger's
remarks (recovered from my sketchy notes] and my own interpretive
editorial comments.
